Retail value keeps climbing for Scion, not depreciating...

[Ryan]

About 6 months ago - the KBB Retail vlue for my 2004 Scion xB was around 14K - just a little under retail value at the time. Today, I checked KBB and it's now got a retail value OVER 15K (more that new car retail) Just to keep in mind - this vehicle's on the cusp of being two years old, and 30K miles

YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHhhhhh This only bodes well for the future - I'm tellin' ya I can't wait until production of the xB stops - that'll slow the depreciation even more

You should sell it and get a new one.

Just like trading cards, it's only worth what someone will pay you for it.

Almost an obvious flamebait thread considering the arguments that always erupt when you post this type of info in car threads.

I guess you can't put a price on bad taste.

KBB value is crap. It is designed to be high to screw people over on taxes.
